Earlier this week, Wal-Mart officials confirmed they will host an open house about the proposed store Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Schertz Civic Center, 1400 Schertz Parkway.

This will be the first public meeting Wal-Mart has held since it announced its interest in the property almost three weeks ago, with company representatives to address residents' questions and concerns.

“The open house is about the project, to give (residents) a better view and understanding,” Morales said. “People can ask questions about landscaping, infrastructure ... (and) questions related to the project.”

Council members will attend the open house, said Peggy Cimics, Cibolo city secretary.
